Partnership between Google and Huawei at risk? US investigate collaboration
Still with Huawei under suspicion of espionage in favor of China, the US Department of Defense wants to investigate the nature of the partnership between Google and the Chinese maker.The situation appears to be related to the fact that Google has decided not to renew the Artificial Intelligence (IA) research partnership - named Project Maven - that it had with the US Department of Defense, a decision that was made following protests by several collaborators of Mounain View technology.The request for Google to detail its partnership with Google has come through several Republican senators and congressmen with a letter where you can read that there are those who believe the two cases are related."Despite the disappointment that Google does not continue the long and fruitful tradition of collaboration between the military and technology companies, we are even more disappointed that Google is apparently more willing to support the Chinese Communist Party than the US military, is in a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who has since responded."Like many other US companies, we have agreements with dozens of smartphone manufacturers around the world, including Huawei. We do not offer special access to Google user data as part of this agreement and our agreements include privacy and security for the use of data, "read the email sent by a Moutntain View technology spokeswoman to Reuters.
